Text Chapter 1168 Catching the Wind
Zhang Han, the profit point of white sugar, was negligent at the beginning, but he didn't expect it!
"The sugarcane seeds were brought from Fujian, right?" Sun Jingting has been close to the door, there is a large sugarcane planting area nearby, according to the assessment of the Department of Agriculture, Taiwan's existing sugarcane is not a good seed, the stem is short and thin, and the amount of sugar is also low, the agricultural personnel in Fujian for a long time, selected a few good varieties to come, there are good seeds, plus Taiwan's climate can be said to be the most suitable place in the world to grow sugarcane, it is difficult to think of high yield.
"It's a good breed of Fujian." After getting off the car in Yitai, Sun Jingting barely had a few words of gossip, which showed his demeanor, not only Chang Wei was in the same car, but also Li Pingzhi and Li Shouxin and others who were in the same car.
"Sample for analysis." Sun Jingting is only half an expert, so he didn't say anything specific, but said: "The values of each variety of sample fields should be concretized, so that the high-level analysis of the Department of Agriculture can also be targeted." ”
"This is natural." Chang Wei smiled: "Brother Xiaozheng, please rest assured. ”
Sun Jingting smiled to himself, looked left and right, and said, "It's almost noon, everyone is tired and hungry." I'm this kind of problem, when I get to a new place, I can't help but talk more, everyone eats together first, and then I listen to the specific reports of various departments......"
This is also an inevitable thing, in fact, Sun Jingting went south this time, and more than 20 middle-level officials from various departments of the military order around him were brought along, and more than 100 officials at all levels followed, and there was no problem in docking the business of various departments. Second, it is also to help the Taiwan side solve as many problems as possible, so as not to continue to argue after the division is transferred to the general department...... Zhang Han has no reservations about Taiwan's support, but he is not three-headed and six-armed, and Hutchison is really a big family now, and things everywhere are complicated...... This time the arrangement is also wonderful, most of the middle-level and lower-level officials of the military department who went south with Sun Jingting used to say strange things, since they have a lot of nonsense and complains, so they might as well follow Sun Jingting to the south to take a look...... This time they really opened their eyes, of course, they suffered enough along the way, just one Han Lao Liu vomited in the boat and wanted to jump into the sea, the axle man who was born as a miner did not suffer anything, but he almost killed himself at sea, so he knew that it was not easy for Hutchison personnel at sea.
The bitter gall was spit out, and this time Han Lao Liu didn't dare to say anything strange anymore......
Of course, the Taiwan side has prepared a reception banquet, because I don't know when the ship will arrive, only know that it will arrive today, so early in the morning, there are auxiliary cooks and gang leaders to prepare a banquet for hundreds of people, but the ingredients are prepared, and when I heard that the Zhenwei on the sea has arrived, this side is immediately busy ping-pong, and when Sun Jingting walked into the most spacious lobby of the official residence, the smell of food has already diffused.
Sun Jingting smiled at Chang Wei and said: "Fearful, I know that you are usually very frugal in Taiwan, if you put on a banquet for me today, I can't appreciate it, on the contrary, I want to blame you." ”
Chang Wei laughed and said: "I know that must be the case, so I didn't prepare more wine and food at all, the dishes are four kinds per table, two kinds of meat and vegetables, eight people at a table, the dishes are packed in pots, and the portions are enough." There is no wine, I know that Brother Xiaozheng must be busy as soon as he goes ashore, how can he have spare time to drink! ”
"Very good!" Sun Jingting praised Chang Wei with a smile: "This arrangement is the most appropriate, but when I want to leave, I still have to drink the practice wine." ”
"Then I will use the best sweet wine to practice for Brother Xiaozheng...... We made it from bagasse, and the wine is very sweet and not rushing, and it is not too soft like rice wine, so it is really a good wine. ”
"Sugar cane is really a good thing, it can be squeezed for sugar, the dregs can make wine, and it can be fed to pigs...... There are a lot of pigs on the island, right? ”
Chang Wei said: "There are more pigs, now there are more than 500 heads, but it is not enough, the islanders and garrisons plus family businessmen have already exceeded 60,000 people, and the average person consumes one or two meats a day to get 6,000 catties of meat a day, and my 500 pigs are not enough to eat a day." Therefore, it is necessary to put ducks, raise chickens and fish, and cooperate. And the women and the old people eat meat once every five days, there is no way, they are also used to it, and they are thankful that they have a bowl of full food to eat. ”
After all, it is a warm island, and the crop growth is much more worry-free and labor-saving than in the north, and it is also highly productive, and there are wild animals and fish to supplement, but there are too many people, and not everyone can fish on the seaside, there is a special fleet, fishing is supplied to the island, and there are pigs, chickens, cattle, sheep, ducks and other things, except for women and old people who only eat meat every few days, men and children have meat every day, either pork or cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks or fish, of course, it is also the military department to provide food. If you buy it with your own money, as long as you can buy it, the military secretary will not interfere with what people eat at home.
After a while, someone came up with rice, Sun Jingting smiled when he saw it, and it was really a huge basin, which was full of sharp dishes, a pot of braised pork to Lipu taro, a pot of mutton, a pot of roasted oysters, and a pot of sparse, all of which were vegetarian dishes such as green vegetables.
Chang Wei said with a smile: "Adding oysters is considered three pots of meat dishes, let's go, let's not eat two mixed rice today, eat refined rice, everyone is full, don't be polite to me, thank Lord Sun." ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and when they saw that the people of Taiwan's military department began to move their chopsticks, the rice was brought in a big basin, and everyone was busy sharing the rice.
Sun Jingting sighed secretly in his heart, seeing that Chang Wei was also eating with everyone, looking like he was feasting...... Chang Wei is a son of a serious wealthy businessman's family, he was not crowned a few years ago, and he was like a little kid behind Zhang Han's buttocks, and later showed a lot of talent when he passed through Mobei, but he was so good at presiding over Taiwan, and he could be so self-reliant, which Sun Jingting couldn't believe when he didn't see it with his own eyes.
Chang Wei and Sun Jingting were of course at the same table, and when they saw him flustered, they smiled and said, "Brother Xiaozheng is afraid that he is tired of eating mutton, right?" We don't eat much mutton here, so under the pretext of welcoming you, we slaughtered a few sheep and gave these gluttons a tooth sacrifice, don't think about beef, unless they die of old age, I don't allow them to eat beef...... Our cattle here are not easy to come by, and you can't bring them to me from the grassland. ”
Sun Jingting and the people who came from the grassland laughed...... Mutton they are indeed tired of eating, other meat on the grassland is not easy to get, the herdsmen raise sheep and hunted yellow sheep to how much there are, want to eat but every day, beef can also be often eaten, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, no one can take care of the herd when the fight starts, the herdsmen also herd cattle, but the cattle are mainly used in the horse market trade, the herdsmen themselves use cattle very little, so the number is not much, and the remembered cattle are not sold, only for their own use, but there are a lot of dead cattle during the war, so many people beat the tooth sacrifice.
"Brother Xiaozheng tastes this braised pork with Lipu taro, the taro absorbs the oil and aroma of the meat, and it is soft and delicious, which is quite delicious."
If Zhang Han was here, he would definitely know that this was a famous delicacy in later generations, just like the fried oysters in Fujian now, it is also a delicacy that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Although Sun Jingting didn't know, it didn't prevent him from enjoying the food, so he used chopsticks to coerce it first, not meat, but the Lipu taro introduced by Changwei...... After tasting it, Sun Jingting praised: "It's really delicious in the world, rare, rare, this time just eating this thing, it's worth the trip." ”
"Good things are miles." Chang Wei said with a smile: "Eat the good things in the sea tonight, stewed sea cucumbers, sea fish, and palm-sized shrimp, I have already asked someone to prepare." ”
"Then the foolish brother has become a foodie......
Sun Jingting suddenly stopped his chopsticks and looked at the door with a smile.
At the door was Zhang Xuwen, who was in the dust, saluting him.
"Brother Xuwen is rare."
"I've seen Brother Xiaozheng."
Zhang Xuwen really had a black face, and a handyman hurriedly went to fetch water to wash his face. Zhang Xuwen waved his hand, signaling that he was not in a hurry, but pointed to a few natives behind him and introduced: "These are the leaders of the Mountain Shrine, and they came down the mountain with me this time." ”
All the people in the Taiwan military department in the audience stood up as soon as possible, and many of them showed indescribable surprise on their faces...... The natives on this side of Taiwan are quite closed and barbaric, much more barbaric than the Eastern and Northern Captives, and all kinds of customs are far from civilization. And very stubborn, the Taiwan side tried to communicate with the Turen as early as two years ago, at least they could get a considerable amount of labor, but the Turen tribe had no one to respond, quite stubborn, and even many tribes in the nearby mountains had joined forces to attack ...... Of course, it ended in a fiasco, the head of the human clan elders were killed one after another, not one was left, the captured Zhuang Ding and his family were placed everywhere to serve in labor, this was more than a year ago, when Zhang Xuwen and Li Pingzhi had just arrived, many people told Zhang Xuwen that the native people could not communicate, and it was impossible to surrender, but the result was that everyone was shocked.
Zhang Xuwen said to Sun Jingting: "I originally said that I would rest in Tunpu and then come back, but as soon as I heard that Brother Xiaozheng had arrived, I hurried over, disgraced, really rude." ”
Sun Jingting said with a smile: "Continuation of the text, you have always been a spotless and beautiful son when you were in the Attendant Division, and I know that you have a talent and fame, and I think in my heart that this must be a sour and rotten scholar who can't do practice, who knows that Mobei and his party will make me very surprised, and when I see it today, I don't know what to say except admiration." ”
Chang Wei also said: "How did you do the continuation of the text?" ”
A group of barbarian leaders were washing their faces, and Zhang Xuwen was also wiping the black ash on his face, and said with a smile: "I've been drilling mountains for the past half a year, and they can't beat the people I bring, so they can only pinch their noses and contact me...... It's actually quite simple...... Just do it with your heart. ”
